Circle K objects to Charlie Chawke's plan to retain life-sized gorilla and Eiffel Tower replica at The Goat
Briefly

Charjon Investments Ltd is applying for planning retention of a coffee kiosk and additional amenities like an outdoor television screen and sculptures near The Goat pub in Dublin. Planning consultant Tom Phillips argues that these structures enhance the appeal of the local pet farm. However, objections from Circle K highlight concerns over visual disorder and unauthorized operations in the area, raising community apprehensions regarding aesthetic integrity. The kiosk, having transitioned through various brands, has reportedly generated substantial revenue since its launch during the pandemic.
Tom Phillips, a planning consultant for Charjon Investments Ltd, has stated that the outdoor sculptures and coffee kiosk 'complement the live animals in the pet farm element.'
Many elements of the proposed development including the unauthorised coffee dock have continued to operate without planning permission for considerable time, raising community concerns.
